Title might be a little ridiculous. I was young and stupid. I had a prescription for methylphendiate and I was huge into getting high... mostly snorting everything. I was 19 years old. I got a fresh prescription for ritalin, I was to take a 20mg tablet twice a day. I received a bottle of 60 tablets. I was previously addicted to cocaine and did as much as I could buy. I was completely delusional and idiotic with my dosing, for some reason I beleived the high from snorting ritalin only lasted like 5-10 minutes just like cocaine did for me, but while I was on this drug called methylphendiate my perception of how high i was was completely distorted. I just kept snorting these tablets every few minutes. At the time I was using by myself, I was living in a half way house with 3 roommates, all of which were trying to get and stay clean. I was completely alone, trying to satisfy myself with the only drug I had, This was about 6 years ago, so my memory of the event is kind of blurry but I'm sure I received a bottle of 60 tablets from the pharmacy between 12pm and 6pm one day, and by 12pm the next day, all 60 tablets were finished. There were no other drugs involved except for a possible small amount of mouthwash to try and come down from the experience. The entire time I was suffering from extreme anxiety, my thoughts were racing a million miles an hour. at the time I was probably about 5'10'' and 190 lbs. but I had taken the medication every day my entire life for about 18 years when I was in high school, yet had been absent from the drug entirely for about a year or two prior to this experience, so my tolerance had gone down. In the end I did not sleep for about two days and suffered from extreme, practically traumatizing anxiety. Also, ever since around that time period, I have been diagnosed with HBP, I'm not sure if thats the exact reason or not, those years of my life were pretty hazy, but I know for a fact that that was around the same time I started taking meds for HBP. . . amphetamine/methylphenidate is extremely addictive. So addictive that you hate when you're on it yet you still do it anyways. I'm only writing this because I decided to give it another chance (As I do every couple years) and got a fresh new prescription but I'm not taking nearly as much as I did that time, I've had only 100mg in the past 10 hrs mixed with about 8 shots of 35% liqour. I'm a little worried though because that just seems like a huge dose. yet I still feel okay, feel almost normal.

My nose is completely fucked, every winter it bleeds terribly. Everytime I blow my nose, chucks of bloody scabs come out. Will my nose ever recover with time?

The tissue is likely to re-pair most of the damage but depending on how bad it is there may be some permanent damage.

I'm pretty intimidated/wary of drugs and rarely dabble in prescription things but didn't some sort of survival instinct kick in around the 10th pill or something (Taking this much can't be good for me)? Maybe thats just me :)

as I said I was young and stupid, extremely stupid. at the time I just wanted to get as high as I possibly can on what ever I could possibly get all the time, no matter what. I wanted to live fast and die young as all my idols did like the 27 club.
all i knew is that every time i snorted a pill id get a good rush for about 15 minutes, but the hour of crashing and depression that proceeded the rush was just not at all part of my concern... I've been surfing the web ffor a story similar to this one but was not able to find one. just wanted to post that it was possible for some one to ingest 1200mg of methylphenidate in less than 18 hrs and survive. while it was a quite unenjoyable experience, I still survived with out any critical health issues.
 
How could you force yourself to do that, even being "young and stupid"?! I could only ever bring myself to insufflate around 20mgs of Focalin. I was too concerned about my health that I didn't want to overdue it and I was 16... If I were you I would have called the ER. 8(
 
I was about 18 or 19 and I was completely idiotic and I was helplessly lost in this state of drug use and ego. I wanted to get as high as I can as much as I can on anything I could get my hands on, and my naive self saw the more drugs you use the cooler or more socially accepted you are so I tried to do as much as I can, I od'd on a few things in about 4 years time. chemicals involved in OD include alcohol xanax cocaine DXM and MDMA or cocktail ecstasy pills.
 
Yes it is very extreme, but I've abused ritalin among other things (though not to this extent) and FWIW, I know how a therapeutic dose can be that much different from a total binge dose in an entire sitting. Long story short, amphetamines were just a lot more effective for obvious reasons. I guess there's foolish and there's Foolish. (within this context that would apply to you again, just to be sure - but generally speaking I understand escalation and I am happy that I am done with that).
 
I too have done almost the same thing. I used to take Ritalin in high school and took it like I should. Know as an older man I have started to take them for my ADHD. I get 60 of them a month they are the 10mg regular pills. I have not taken them in over a year and started back about 2 months ago. I have tried to take them by mouth but no luck I feel I have to snort them. I can't help it they just taste so good to me I love the taste, I know they may seem weird because they have that chemical taste to them, but I love it. I mean I love the smell of moth balls...lol anyways I snort one after the other like one every 15-30 mins I can't help it I just feel I need more and more until after about 3 days they are GONE. It sucks how fast I can go threw 60 pills in 2 or 3 days it is just nuts. Is it just me or does anyone else do this and do them for the taste? Also do any of you get that relaxed and speedy feeling with them also but at the same time like a coke high? Be well everyone J man
 
Also do any of you get that relaxed and speedy feeling with them also but at the same time like a coke high? Absolutely on ritalin or coke for that matter as all my friends are geeked out and going 100 miles an hour im relaxed its like my brain slows down I do have add/bipolar 2/major depression/anxiety however I have had most of that under control for years now but yeah dont think you are the only person who feels relaxed when doing it like I can do coke and go to sleep 45 mins later.
 
That relaxed feeling would be when the stim euphoria is in high gear and the mind feels clear and relaxed and performing well. Its a mental state that could be described as relaxation but technically It would be a stimulated state and the relaxation wouldnt be physical, yet you could still physically remain in the same position for 12 hours, so its hard to define properly. Depends on your definition of relaxed i guess.
 
When I was 14,15 etc..I became hooked on Ritalin, snorting two 10mg pills every 30mins, or more than 2...disgusting and horrible experience and long psychotic journey...
 
I did this too around the same age, except with about 60x 10mg tablets. I actually started by snorting them but by the end was plugging them (which actually turns out to be quite intense). Towards the end of the bender I got really shaky and stupidly smoked some weed to "help come down"... Bad idea. I started blacking out around that point and ended up in the hospital. It was not my finest moment.
 
Methylphenidate became too anxiety ridden for me whether it was er or ir.

Adderall and vyvanse was much better but im glad im off all of them now.
